Ash is joined by Chris from The Rams Review Podcast to preview Monday nights game under the lights at Hillsborough.

Are the Derby fans confident in taking all the points or do they see visiting S6 as a potential banana skin?

In the past history Derby County have also had their fair share of disastrous owners and not so long back found themselves in administration so we have a chat about that and how long that process could take.

On this week's show, we look back on the damp squib that was the abandoned game at Ewood Park against Blackburn Rovers. With little doubt that the game needed calling off, should there have been a contingency in place? Did we get away with one following the underwhelming first half performance? 

In other news, Harry Amass has had quite the month and picked up November's POTM gong. Was there ever any doubt? 

It wouldn't be a Monday night without some takeover talk. How are we feeling about the news that there still isn't a confirmed buyer in place, despite the administrators' deadline of last Friday? 

We also take advantage of having our 'new' Cup Squad member Tom 'Mr Meadows' Burton on the show as he gives us a rundown of how he became  a shirt restoration sensation. Where does he get those Puma King templates from, and what's the deal with a Malaysian charity shop's fascination with our Diadora kits? 

All this and more!
